Barn Blocks 5 and 6

Happy Friday Chickadee's

Block 5

I joined Lori's barn along over at http://beeinmybonnetco.blogspot.com/  For this barn I saw chickens.  I came across this fabric in my stash and knew it had to go in a barn.

Block 6

I got Bake Shop by Lori Holt at http://beeinmybonnetco.blogspot.com/ in my shop http://www.donnaslavendernest.com/ So I knew part of it had to be my roof for this barn.  These blocks are so much fun to make.  And it is not to late for you to start.  If you would like to join in you can go to Lori's blog http://beeinmybonnetco.blogspot.com/

Hope y"all have a great weekend.

Happy Mother's Day

Hope you have a Blessed Mother's Day filled with love and joy.

Gardening and New Fabric In My Shop

I did not get any sewing done this weekend. Whaa!  I am not even sure where Friday went, Saturday I had to work and the highlight of my day was meeting my sweet husband and son for lunch.  The weather was so beautiful today, I spent most of the day cleaning out my flower beds and still have a long way to go.  David was so sweet he prepared a nice little picnic for us. 

This is the newest fabrics in my shophttp://www.donnaslavendernest.com/.  This collection is by Atsuko Matsuyama.  It is such a sweet 1930's collection.  It is listed under reproductions in my shop. 

I am over the moon with excitement, tomorrow afternoon Bake Sale by Lori Holt is suppose to arrive at my door.   This fabric is so cute and I can not wait to get my hands on it.  My goal is to have it all in my shop tomorrow night.  So on Tuesday you can stop by http://www.donnaslavendernest.com/ and see it.

Well Monday morning comes early for me 5:00 is so not my friend.  Sweet dreams chick a dees, hope you have a great start to your week.

Louisiana Finds

Happy Monday.  

Thought I would show you some of my finds from Louisiana.  The lady at the store told me these are oatmeal bowls.  When you bought oatmeal you got a bowl, cup, or little glass.  I wish we still had those days.  Wouldn't it be nice to open some oatmeal and get one of these great bowls?

I just love these cut outs, but they are so hard to find in good condition.  Score!  I also found the feed sack they are lying on.  I know one day I will get my feed sacks in my shop.  lol

Ok you know how I just love paper dolls?  I could not believe it when I found these Raggedy Ann and Andy paper dolls.  I was over the moon excited.  David had to come and see what all the commotion was.  lol.

This sewing basket is in perfect condition.  I just had to snatch it up.  

Just look at the beautiful roses on the bottom.  I was thinking my machine embroidery thread would fit great in this sewing basket.  I have a yellow one just like it I keep my other threads in and I just love it.

Hope you have a great week and get to sew until your machine can not take it anymore.

New Fabric in my shop and Louisiana

Good Saturday morning chick a dee's.  This is the new line of the Mary Rose collection by Quilt Gate in my shop http://www.donnaslavendernest.com/ I just love all these sweet floral's.  Best of all there are lavender's and purple's in this line.

My sweet hubby took me to Louisiana last weekend.  Oh how I love to stay in Chaneyville at Lloyd Hall.  Everyone is so friendly and hospitable.  We sat on the patio in the evenings and picnicked under the large oak trees.  It was such a nice weekend.   David took me junkin to all our favorite places and  we even found some new places to visit.  I will have to show all my finds in the next post.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Hubby's Birthday and a Barn Along

Today is my sweet hubby's birthday.  We celebrated by going to dinner with family and friends.  It seems like just yesterday we where teenagers going to Galveston and having a blast with no cares in the world except for each other.

Block 1

I joined in Lori's Barn Along over at http://beeinmybonnetco.blogspot.com/  This has been so inspiring for me.   This weekend I finished block one and four.  For block one I thought the barn needed some ducks.  There is a red outline around the ducks that I thought goes well the red barn.

Block 4

This is my block 4.  I had this fabric with the little girl feeding the chickens and a girl getting away from it all reading a book.  Thank you so much Lori for all your inspiration.

Well it is getting late for me and I just may turn into a pumpkin. lol  Hope you are having a great week.
